The proposed headquarter hotel for the Miami Beach Convention Center, which requires 60 percent approval from Beach voters, will go to a vote on March 15. Proponents hope to build an 800-room hotel rising 30 stories on public land behind The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater. They argue that the $600 million renovation of the convention center, currently underway, is nothing without a place to house visitors who come to host conventions.Opponents say it'll create a traffic nightmare and stick out like a sore thumb at 300 feet tall.
